About us

Mouchel is an infrastructure and business services group that provides design, managerial, engineering and operational services to support modern society.

We work with UK government agencies, local authorities and with industries regulated by government to provide safe and reliable roads, effective and well managed local education and civic infrastructure, clean water and cost-effective energy. Mouchel has helped identify opportunities for government to work more effectively to deliver improved services and has worked in partnership with these same organisations to deliver these more efficiently.

For more than a century, Mouchel has been helping to shape and transform the world we live in. In 1897, Louis Gustave Mouchel first brought the patent for reinforced concrete to the UK and, following its introduction, there were huge strides in engineering as we used our ingenuity to pioneer its use in all aspects of construction, such as the first bridges made out of the material; the first UK skyscraper (the Liver Building built in 1909); the chimneys for Battersea Power Station; and, in the time of war, floating concrete structures called Mulberry Harbours which helped the D-Day landings.

Today, Mouchel continues to transform society, but in ways that are less visible. Our focus has shifted to bringing innovation and efficiency to the management and operation of assets as well as to the way we deliver support services to public bodies. Through our long-term partnerships with local authorities and Government agencies we have introduced new ways of working which have enhanced customer experience, maximised value for money, and reduced overall costs. In Bournemouth, for example, we are on target to help the Council achieve 40% savings by 2021, which will equate to around £256m over 10 years. Achieving this scale of cost reduction, whilst at the same time maintaining and enhancing frontline services, requires fundamental organisational changes which Mouchel helps to identify and implement.

Although predominantly UK focused, we also deliver services in selected overseas markets where our UK-based skills, competencies and experience can add significant value to our worldwide clients. For example, our Middle East business is designing new industrial cities in Saudi Arabia to very short timeframes, whilst in Australia our DownerMouchel joint venture is delivering integrated road asset management and maintenance contracts that ensure vital links for remote communities.
